Jesse Lee Interview — Podcast June 25, 2018

A Culture Of Corruption.Democratic Perspective co-host, Steve Williamson, welcomes Jesse Lee, VP of communications for the Center for American Progress. After spending 8 years in the Obama White House, Lee contrasts the extreme level of corruption in the Trump administration with that of Obama’s. “It’s not exactly a coincidence when Republicans control all parts of government that they try to get their hands on everything possible,” he says. “A lot of the Republicans I used to argue with over Obama policies are now in shock. Obama worked for his constituents almost every hour of every day. Now it’s almost the opposite. You’d be hard pressed to find an example of this administration that isn’t corrupt.”
